Thanks Grandpa, that's good to know. Although I only noticed the slow downs in LW not with browsing. I also used a speed testing website and before I launch LW my speed is at the max, even after brwosing the net for a while, more yet using downloading programs such as Speed Download. My bandwidth stays at the top. However even after I quit LW my speed stays very low as if LW ties up most of the connection an it doesn't releases it even when I quit it. However, if I unplug my modem and then back again my bandwidth is back to the max again.
Figure this out?? I tested it a few times, I get the same results every time.
Oh by the way I do have a Linksys router too, I'll try to play with that too.
